CivilCivil engineering services include site design, public utilities design, drainage and grading design as well as design for civil works structures such as water storage tanks, retaining walls, bridges, and parking structures. |
MaterialsMaterials engineering includes construction quality control/assurance testing, IBC required Special Inspections, design of Portland and bituminous cement mixes, and material selection for unique construction applications. |
GeotechnicalGeotechnical engineering services include sub-surface soil investigations, determination of soil properties and characteristics, and deep foundation design. Geotechnical engineering studies are used to predict soil bearing capacities for foundations, estimate probable settlement, pavement design properties, and suitability of in-situ soils for construction purposes. |
StructuralStructural engineering services include design and analysis for all framing systems and materials. Lateral force resistance occupies a significant portion of the engineering design effort. Cartwright Engineers provides lateral design using the most current methodologies combined with sound principles of engineering mechanics. |
EnvironmentalEnvironmental engineering services include investigation and reports for site screening impact statements, NEPA, and ESA phases I, II, and III. |

Unlike buildings, civil works are unoccupied but exposed to severe environmental loading. Parking structures, water storage tanks, bridges and abutments, retaining walls, and buried vaults are common among the built environment. Material performance and service life usually dictate engineered systems for these types of structures.
